"close to" doesn't really work.
"closely connected to" is OK.
"relevant to" is OK but doesn't mean the same.

Do you have something against the simple word "about"? Also, what do you mean by "ordinary life"? I wonder if you mean "daily/everyday life".

I would simply say:

The IT industry has changed many things.

Then I would talk about those things.
